Further power of CEO to issue emergency environment protection notice
182A Further power of CEO to issue emergency environment protection notice
This section does not apply in relation to an action to which section 182 applies.
The CEO may issue an emergency environment protection notice to a person if the CEO believes on reasonable grounds that:
an action is causing material or significant environmental harm;
and
urgent action is required for the protection of the environment and to meet the objects of this Act.
The emergency environment protection notice may impose any requirements mentioned in section 178(1) that are reasonably required for the protection of the environment.
An application to NTCAT for review of an emergency environment protection notice under this section that imposes a requirement mentioned in section 178(1)(a), (b) or (c) or a requirement prescribed by regulation does not stay the operation of the notice.
An emergency environment protection notice issued to a person under this section ceases to have effect at the end of 10 business days after it is issued unless it is revoked earlier under section 184.
